Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

FutureB-
The Texans let Latham fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. JC Latham tumbling to the Texans in the Round 2 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If McLachlan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
JC Latham
The board fumbled JC Latham all the way to pick No. 42, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 23, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in slot 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick 127 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188
Rnd6
Tanner McLachlan
They reached a country mile for Tanner McLachlan at the 188th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247
Rnd7
Tyler Owens
A conviction pick on Tyler Owens at the 247th pick that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
